I trust you are holding up ok over there,after the demise of an Australian institution....
RIP creamed donuts!

stu muntz isnt going to be happy he,s sponsered by krispy creame donuts
he eats 8 per sitting

Had to happen with the big boy of love slimming down so well

Seriously, they were far too expensive for Joe Average so my guess is they simply priced themselves out of the market. Probably won't even be missed as i can't say I know anyone who has ever bought them ::)..go the Woolies donuts! cheaper at half the price :D
-
IF they didnt concentrate all the stores on the East coast maybe they would have turned a freakin profit.
I'd like to own one at sydney and melbourne airports - would be a license to print money.
I see it as a case of BAd management and BAD marketing. Some people should just not hold management positions. I see ladies flying out with 3 carton under there arms !!!
Maybe try the glaZed one DOC they ROCK, woolies have just started to copy them as has coles, so they now need to remarket the more profitable lines.

damn shame,bloody nice product.
I know about piss poor management Freaky,I shake my head at what goes on at the big Aussie corporate I work for,pack of self-centred STI (short term incentive) focussed, blood suckers....

It serves the pricks right.
They're..............
1: Absolutely the bottom of the food chain nutritionally.
2:Too expensive
3:Not in the same league both in taste and price as Donut King
I remember when the Krispy Kreme drive through donut shop opened near Penrith Panthers club, the poor hopeless followers of fashion and trend were lined up around the block for the 'privilege' of passing over good money for a potential coronary. My god daughter rang me one morning at around 6am to tell me she was in the line at Krispy Kreme and wanted to know if I wanted a 12 pack? When she told me it'd cost me $40 for the experience I politely declined and went back to bed.
It's tough enough losing weight without eating that shit......good riddance.

Administration is not liquidation.
Liquidation is what happens if the administrators can't bail the company out, and it goes bankrupt (in very simplified terms!).
The article makes it sound like they've called the administrators in very early - for whatever reasons - which greatly improves the odds of the business surviving.
-
Thanks for the accounting term lesson Nathan,I knew the difference but thought liquidation was a better head line.
Jeff yes its all a joke mate,we all know Krispy Kreme doesnt rate as an Oztralian icon like stubbies,XXXX beer,and meat pies.

Exactly right Nathan, Administration is not Liquidation, this also represents a great oportunity for a merger or takeover from a company that has better marketing and administraion skills, using competitive pricing stategies.
Nutritionally, I think I'd be rather eating the vegetable fat used in Krispy Kreme's than the PIG fat used most everywhere else.

Riiight...
Let's face it, truth and accuracy are way over-rated anyhow...
-
Australian Icon, only a kiwi would think that.
Just another example of our ever increasing obsession with all things U.S.
I have to admit that I bought them a couple of times for sporting teams but they are way too candy sweet for me.
-
I HAVE BOUGHT THEM AND THEY GAVE ME HEART BURN FOR A 2 DAYS, THEY ARE TO SWEAT. THE ONLY WAY TO EAT A DONUT, ARE FRESHLY COOKED.
-
Freshly made sugar & cinamon. Lightly coated of course.
How does this relate to Vintage dirt bikes?
-
The whole Australian Police Force will be spewing they were fairly nice but too expensive and who goes out of there way to buy donuts besides cops ::)

I missed that Donut king was nutritious.....
as for taste ... what taste, be more taste in an uncooked lasagne sheet than a Donut king, Dk is the king of ring.. YUUK

Because most VMX riders these days are pretty familiar with this type of product

I didn't say they were nutritious.. Have another read. They're all shit when it comes down to nutrition. But if you have to compare donuts, Donut King run rings around those sickly sweet KK things. In the end they're all nasty little things.
When I lived in the US I had a 24 hr Winchells Donut shop accross the road and at first I thought it was cool but after a month or so I grew to hate the smell of the fuc*ing things. They release the aroma through the exhaust vents to attract hungry passers by, a bit like KFC does. One advantage of them being across the road was that you could always find a cop.

Nothing beats the freshly cooked hot dounuts cooked by your local Lions Club :)

I will let the level of expertise in this thread speak for itself.
I am probably a few Caronas and dodgy back past my prime racing weight and doubt Crusty Cream will make much difference.... though I can live without it. We all have our own poison and mine has a slice of lemon in the top. ;D

they were good i used to line up with the kids at penrith and they used to walk around the line up giving them away.after two or three came around we'd have enough and then go home,line up with the kids for 10 mins and go home with a box of free donuts.they are expensive but never been $40 a box.cheers gary
